About Patricia

Patricia Major is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can use right away. Her style is warm and collaborative, so people who feel overwhelmed often find sessions straightforward and focused on next steps.

She uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. That can mean learning new thinking skills, building awareness of difficult feelings, or practicing ways to communicate more clearly.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at solving current problems and building tools that last beyond therapy. Patricia brings 10 years of clinical experience to her practice in Oklahoma. Her LCSW credential means she completed graduate-level social work training and state licensure.

That background has included work with issues like trauma, grief, addiction, and caregiving stress. In sessions she often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. Those methods help people manage anxiety, cope with life changes, and address patterns that get in the way of relationships.

Patricia describes therapy as a team effort where the client sets the pace. She offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility lets parents fit support around busy schedules and handle urgent concerns between sessions when needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then make choices that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that worsen stress and then trying small experiments to shift them. This approach often helps with anxiety, sleeping problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a safe space so people can better understand their feelings and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and she tailors methods to fit those needs. The process is collaborative, so adjustments can be made as the client learns what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for busy parents and adults. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions work when screens aren’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to practice skills between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain steady progress while juggling work and family responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
